The worldwide web has no shortage of travel bloggers and influencers, and we love exploring their sites and scouring their posts for travel-inspo, insider tips, and top picks for resorts, eateries, and activities. Today’s bloggers and influencers are wealths of knowledge and are often as valuable to us in our vacation research as any magazine or guide book. The best in the business have smartly written content, stunning photos, and unique points of view. There are literally hundreds of amazing blogs and accounts out there, but here are some of our favorites:
A travel site aimed towards women, The Blonde Abroad consistently ranks among the world’s top travel blogger lists. And with good reason- Keirsten, the woman behind this behemoth of a blog, quit a career in corporate finance to become a world traveler. She has since traveled to 70 countries, documenting her adventures on this travel blog that’s as informative as it is stunning. From packing tips to a special section on female travel, to gorgeous photos (and even tips on how to take them), this is one of our favorite sites to satisfy the wanderer in all of us.
